I just downloaded the latest eclipse EE two days ago. I check out my seam
project from CVS(with no .project or .classpath files). I look for
convert to dynamic web project but I don't see that in the list when I
right click on project. How does one convert a project to a dynamic web
project?
I could have sworn I managed to do this two days ago(hmmm, maybe that was
with jboss tools that I could do it). The configure submenu only has
convert to JPA and convert to plugin projects :(.
How does one mount an existing dynamic web project?
Here is my second try with a workaround that also doesn't work but gets
farther.......
1. checkout and then delete the project from eclipse(but not delete source
off drive)
2. now, create a new dynamic web project and uncheck Use default for
directory and choose the directory I just checked out
3. as I go, choose /input/javasrc, input/webroot, uncheck generate
web.xml, click finish
4. Now add my EJB3 project as a dependency(ie. we add the project so we
can change code and it will hot deploy)...hmmm, does that work in WTP if
you have a subproject of a war project, will it get deployed to tomcat and
do hot swap of code like MyEclipse does? It appears not to work.
RESULT: There was no choice for where it should get my jar files from????
and now my project does not compile.
5. I try to go to build path and there is this Web App Libraries thing but
I can't seem to add jars to that at all.
Any ideas how to get this to work?
thanks,
Dean
